Chapter 15...Dynamic Force Analysis (Planar)

15.1 introduction

Dynamic force analysis: dynamic forces are associated with accelerating mass.

Figure (a) A mass that is moving in a circular path experiences centripetal acceleration, and there is a dynamic force,
referred to as centrifugal force, associated with this acceleration. This force acts radially outward and will be
transmitted to the support, producing a bearing reaction.
(b) A rotating shaft with an eccentric mass

The purpose of this chapter: (1) to learn how much acceleration will result from a system of
unbalanced forces.
(2) to learn how these dynamic forces can be assessed for system
that are not in equilibrium

When the mass is evenly distributed over a plane area or a volume,

The center of mass can often be found by symmetry.

When the body is of a more irregular shape, the center of mass can often still be found
by considering it to be combination of simpler subshapes.

15.5 The Principle of Superposition

Linear System: the response or output of a system is directly proportional to the drive or input to the system.
In the absence of Coulomb or dry friction, most mechanisms are linear for force analysis purpose.
The principle of superposition: for linear systems the individual responses to several disturbances or driving
functions can be superposed on each other to obtain the total response
of the system.

Example:
nonlinear factor: static or Coulomb friction, systems with clearances or backlash
systems with springs that change stiffness as they are deflected

Complete dynamic force analysis of a planar motion mechanism:

(1) make a kinematic analysis of the mechanism.
(2) make a complete static force analysis of the mechanism.
(3) calculate the inertia forces and inertia torques for each link or element of the mechanism.
make another complete force analysis of the mechanism.
(4) add the results of steps 2 and 3 to obtain the resultant forces and torques on each link.
